Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention relates to a device that is connected to a water faucet to improve water quality.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, filters have been commonly used to improve water quality. Various types of filters have been proposed, ranging from a mesh for simply removing dust, to a microporous material layer, and an activated carbon particle layer.

Problems that this invention aims to solve In conventional filters, even filters for granules are used in stacked fixed layers, and water comes into contact with the granules by passing between the granules. , which removes foreign substances from water, was found to be less effective because it acts directly on water molecules and aims to activate them.

This idea aims to improve water quality by rolling water quality improving granules at high speed with a water stream and using the dynamic contact and stirring effects.

Means for Solving the Problem A downward nozzle communicating with the faucet connection port is provided in a casing having a faucet connection port above and a water supply port below, so that tap water is spouted downward, and the inner surface is A counter-current bucket formed in a bowl shape is installed in a spaced relationship with the nozzle from below, and water jetted from the nozzle is counterflowed upward to circulate inside the bucket,
Water quality improving granules are rolled in the bucket by water flow to improve water quality, and water holes are provided on the upper circumference of the counterflow bucket to send only improved water to the water supply port. , in tap water quality improvement equipment.

Embodiment Next, an embodiment of this invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 is a nozzle provided downward, and a counterflow bucket 2 whose inner surface is curved in a bowl shape is spaced apart. Vertical holes 3 for running water are opened in an annular shape at required intervals, and are arranged opposite to each other, and penetrate outward through the upper inner surface of the bucket bag 2, and act as a stop for particles of a certain diameter from the inside. The nozzle 1 and the bucket are housed in a casing 4 and are partitioned internally, and the upper part of the casing is provided with a connecting part 6 to the faucet 5 and communicates with the nozzle 1, and the lower part of the casing is connected to the outside of the longitudinal hole 3 for running water. A suitable amount of water quality improving granules 8 is stored in a counterflow bucket 2 provided in a communicating water supply port 7, which is sealed by a sealing net portion 9 provided above the nozzle 1 and the vertically elongated hole 3, Furthermore, a drain hole 10 is vertically provided in the center of the counterflow bucket 2.

The water quality improving granules 8 may be activated carbon particles, porous ceramic filter particles, far-infrared ray emitting ceramic powder, etc., used alone or in combination. And their specific gravity is all 1 or more.

The configuration of this device is as described above, so when the water tap 5 is connected and water is allowed to flow, the water that has passed through the sealing mesh portion 9 enters the nozzle 1 and is ejected downward from its tip. There, the water flow collides with the bottom of the countercurrent bucket 2, diverts upward along the curvature of the inner surface of the bucket, and a portion flows outward through the vertical hole 3.
Further, a part of the water flows downward due to the nozzle water flow and circulates into the counterflow bucket 2. Therefore, in accordance with this water flow, the water quality improving particles 8 are rotated in the counterflow bucket and are prevented from flowing away at the vertically long holes 3 for flowing water, so that they circulate without being lost to the outside. . Therefore, improved water comes out from the water inlet 7. When the water supply is stopped, the water in the counterflow bucket 2 flows out from the drain hole 10 at the bottom and does not stay inside.

Effects of the invention According to this invention, since conventional water quality improvement materials are stacked and used in a constant layer thickness, they are in contact with water in a stationary state, whereas water quality improvement materials The material is in a granular form and rotates on its own axis due to the water flow, allowing it to circulate freely within the improvement chamber, so it comes into contact with the water at a high relative speed, and it comes in contact with the water in a state of motion, which results in sufficient agitation. Therefore, it is effective in improving water quality. The water drain hole in the counter-current bucket drains the water inside the bowl, keeping it clean at all times.
